Ilıca — the Turkish word for a hot spring or spa town — is a thermal site in Uşak Province in western Turkey. Set in the inland Aegean highlands, it features naturally warm, iron-rich mineral waters used for bathing. The surrounding region of rolling farmland and hills is part of Turkey's extensive geothermal belt, where such springs have supported local thermal bathing for generations.
Insider tip — This Ilıca (warm ferruginous thermal spring) in the province of Uşak lies in a low-temperature geothermal zone of the western Anatolian plateau. Uşak is known for its handmade carpets and its archaeological museum — the region's ferruginous waters surge in a landscape of limestone hills dotted with ancient remains.
